The grassroots free-market group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) today released a list of Senate earmarks slated to be included in the Fiscal Year 2008 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill.

The 1,016 earmarks total nearly $392 million, and include millions for questionable projects such as $1 million in tax dollars for a museum dedicated to recreating the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival experience and $250,000 to help fund the Polynesian Voyaging Society, which makes and sails ancient canoes from Hawaii to Japan.

AFP compiled the earmarks scattered throughout the Senate Appropriations Committee Report 110-107 into a convenient, searchable Microsoft Excel format. Earmarks can be sorted by member, state, or amount. Download the chart here.

Highlights of the earmark list include:

$1 million for the Museum at Bethel Woods, which is dedicated to recreating the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival experience and will feature “An interpretation of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Arts Fair” exhibit in 2008, according to the museum’s website. The earmark is at the request of New York Senators Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer

Hillary Clinton is running on her resume as Senator and Co-President.

Just what has she done as a Senator? What important legislation has she sponsored in the Senate in her 6 1/2 years?

PORK, PORK, and MORE PORK!

"$1 million for the Museum at Bethel Woods, which is dedicated to recreating the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival experience and will feature “An interpretation of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Arts Fair” exhibit in 2008, according to the museum’s website. The earmark is at the request of New York Senators Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer"

This leftover radical harridan from the Hippie 60's wants to take over your country.

STOP HER NOW!

[California Patriot]

Rats are hypocritical scum.

“Don’t take the brown acid.”

[Sarajevo]

Slightly off topic, but I had to do it!

[nothingnew]

Woodstock was good. I was there. I was 18 years old. It was good. I did drugs then, and the music was great. I never want to revisit it again.

I seriously doubt that schumer or clinton (rodham?) were there.

It was a once in a lifetime experience to be a part of. I am a musician and truly enjoyed all the talent.

$1,000,000.00 for this baloney is ludicrous.

I hope I have structured my reply simply enough for anyone to understand.

Ex-acid/pothead out//////

“Don’t take the brown acid.”

The Queen of socialized med. desires $1 mill. dedicated to Woodstock Museum in the Labor, “Health and Human Services” and “Education” appropriations bill.

[Bon mots]

Groovy!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Will there be an exhibit showing Pete Townsend El-Kabonging Abbie Hoffman off the stage?

[Dixie Yooper]

I know that $1,000,000 sounds like lots of money, but in the construction of institutional buildings such as museums, it won’t even make a 5,000 square foot single level structure that the public would be allowed into. I want to know where the extra $9,000,000 is coming from???

[Northern Yankee]

Like wow man... I can hardly wait for construction to begin.

Hey... why not put Tommy Chong in charge of it? That alone would be worth the price of admission.

[kallisti]

$1M for mud and filled-to-the-brim port-o-sans?

I’d go back only if that last act was still around.

[sodpoodle]

That this hairy moron, Bill Clinton, was actually nicknaamed “Elvis” is disgusting - Elvis served his country in uniform. Clinton served Lewinsky unclothed.

If alive today, Elvis would be supporting our troops - I have no doubt.

[BipolarBob]

Politicians are the new pharaohs spending money earned by the masses for their own vanity.

[BallyBill]

“Clinton? Dude, I didn’t know Woodstock was in Arkansas.” Cough, cough, cough!!!

IA Senator requested $500,000 for La Raza

[popdonnelly]

This is why I have no faith in the Federal government. I’m supposed by pay, via taxes, to get these self-serving idiots in Congress re-elected.

[Clemenza]

How about a museaum at Altamont, where we can watch clips of Mick Jagger acting like a nancy boy while the Hell's Angels stomp the sh-t out of somebody.

Even better, Altamont had Marty Balin (!) from Jefferson Airplance getting into a fight with one of the Angels.

"I hate hippies! I mean, the way they always talk about "protectin' the earth" and then drive around in cars that get poor gas mileage and wear those stupid bracelets - I hate 'em! I wanna kick 'em in the nuts!"

[Son House]

1,016 earmarks

If just 1 item is not Federal Government, every Senator should vote NO.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Balin got knocked out cold IIRC!

[Goldie Lurks]

Bill: “I did not inhale.”

Gleaning in the fields for her “Base”.

[ulm1]

bump

[Cogadh na Sith]

Imagine how I feel--I was born in 1968! Woodstock means d!@k to me.

Why are my tax dollars going to support and entertain the richest and most entertained generation in history?

[MyFreedomIHoldDear]

Actually, it was “Don’t EAT the brown acid.”

[redstates4ever]

[socal_parrot]

Sounds like someone didn’t heed the warning.

[jwh_Denver]

Picky, picky. I am happy to have gotten the COLOR right!
